Oregon Home Insurance - What's Happening

Oregon home insurance premiums, on average, remain the lowest in the country. It's that simple. Homeowners in the state average paying $431 a year, nearly $400 less than the national average. Why? Extreme weather events just aren't common, which helps when basic Oregon home insurance rates are set.

Those rates are set by the state and provide a baseline for Oregon homeowners insurance providers. Individual factors, such as how close your home is to a fire department or how old your roof is, come into play when providers give you quotes for coverage.
